What happens here
Carefully lift one of the assembled column wrap sections and align it around the existing structural wood post, ensuring it sits flush on the previously placed spacer blocks. Slowly raise the column wrap, guiding it into position until its top edge meets the underside of the porch soffit or beam. Once properly aligned and plumb, use the air nail gun to secure the top of the column wrap to the overhead structure. Drive nails through the top edges of the PVC into the soffit or beam to hold it firmly in place.
Goal: Secure the first assembled column wrap around the post
